Female Orgasm: Proof Of GodScience can´t explain it, evolution can´t understand it and men can only lie there in awe

Women have orgasms because they can. Women have orgasms because it´s the right thing to do.

Women have orgasms because by and large they refuse to launch monstrous ultraviolent illegal soul-deadening wars over oilsucking phallocentric powermad landwhoring BS powergrabs and therefore they fully deserve all the inexplicable otherworldly cosmically infused clitorally energized pleasures they can get.

Did you catch that keyword? That note of strangeness? It was right there, in the word inexplicable. Because apparently, as far as science is concerned and despite the obvious reasons I assert above, no one really seems to know exactly why women have orgasms at all.

Observe, won´t you, a new book by a soft-spoken scientist named Dr. Elisabeth Lloyd, from Indiana U, that basically claims there is no justifiable evolutionary need for the female orgasm whatsoever, that it really serves no known biological purpose and that it´s becoming, therefore, increasingly obsolete and redundant and more or less unnecessary.

Note how much fun Dr. Lloyd must be at parties. Or on a date.

After all, the book concludes, the clitoris merely exists to create excitement to promote reproduction, but the female orgasm is merely a weird biological afterthought, a remembrance of things past, a wisp of a hint of something that came long before that maybe only our ape ancestors could fully appreciate and make good use of, mostly for generating a more potent, primitive urge to make little furry ape babies.

But now witness, argues the book, the heartbreaking number of modern non-ape women who have tragically low or nonexistent sex drives but who still feel absolutely compelled to pop out a nice brood of offspring. The female orgasm, clearly, ain´t for procreation. It has no effect on the transport of sperm. It doesn´t drive maternal desire. So, if the urge to orgasm has no connection with the urge to procreate, why do women get them at all?

This is the great thing about science. It gets all flabbergasted and confounded and scrunchy when confronted with things it doesn´t quite understand and that it can´t quite figure out and that don´t fit into neat categories, especially if said things are astounding explosive events that make women moan and writhe and gasp and grin and feel their deep inborn prelapsarian connection to just about all of eternity, in the space of about 17 seconds.

There is no room in this mode of science for, you know, mystery. There is no room for the deeply funky or the hotly mystical, the moist divine wild card. This is because stiff little science tends to cram all possibility for a given explanation into the great maw of cold beautiful logic and spits out, sadly and tellingly and almost without fail, the cosmic hunks of mystical possibility as if they were indigestible bones.

That scientific view is, of course, one way to look at it. There is, naturally, another.

Let us open up a little, go deep and explore and probe further and say, ahh yes. Because it can also be very easily argued that the female orgasm is, quite simply, the Great Mystical Link, the hot divine thing that connects and communicates and interrelates between heaven and Earth, mind and body, soul and sky, dream state and anal bead, Astroglide and God.

Well, why not? Have you seen a wild female orgasm lately? Have you borne witness? Because you really, really should. One good look and the fact comes clear: The thing is at once directly hardwired to the deep chthonic Earth while at the same time has the bright shimmering cosmos on speed dial. It´s true. It´s obvious. Any good and deeply felt female climax is clearly a subatomic vibrational pulse of such unusual and kaleidoscopic frequency that the only ones who can truly hear its messages are purple orchids and bright red snakes and the aliens who built the Great Pyramids. All hail.

So then. If you want to argue that anything has been lost to the mists of time and awareness, let´s argue that. Let´s lament the demise of that link, the great orgasmic disconnect, the massive cultural spin downward toward sexual terror and orgasmic stagnation and Laura Bush.

In other words, let´s argue that the female orgasm, far from becoming obsolete and useless, is more necessary and vital than ever before, because it is the orgasm that allows us a glimpse of what lies beyond, of what we can become, of all that there is and all we want to be and all we want to become and it´s all wrapped up in a white-hot moment of transcendental moaning hope. Plus, as I understand it, they´re just tremendous amounts of fun.

So now, if Lloyd´s book is to be believed, the fact that women are losing the orgasmic impulse, the fact that the female water slide is not worshipped and studied and taught like a joyful religion or glorious deity in this dazed and confused and Bush-ravaged culture, and the sad fact that every girl is not given a new Hitachi Magic Wand as a beautiful rite of passage when she hits 14, these are more than merely the great tragedies of our age. They might very well be the things keeping us from progressing at all.

Which is to say, deny the power of the mystico-erotic spiritual gasp at your peril. Look to science to explain away all our slick needful quiverings as mere rote mechanical factions, and watch the spirit wither and cringe and say uh, hello, over here, please, what the hell is wrong with you people?

The female orgasm is just useless fun? Just a vestigial remnant of our licentious monkey ancestors, increasingly obsolete and something that will soon be completely replaced with lots of yawning and sighing and a slow steady gaze at the ceiling as she ponders paint colors for the kitchen while the man sweats and grunts and enjoys 2.3 minutes of primitive emasculated gorilla lust? Hardly. Leave that for the Republicans and the Christian Right.

Woman´s orgasm has no evolutionary purpose? Bull. Woman´s orgasm is proof of evolution, baby. Spiritual, karmic, celestial evolution. It is what propels us forward, brings us light and awareness and deep laughing cosmic moan and makes much of life worth living. And if we lose our grip on that notion and insist on devolving at our current rate, we will be in deep trouble indeed.

from 9/11 to 21 december 2012, the end of the Maya calender gives a window of 4120 days

Phi-based spiralling out gives:

4120 * 1.618 = 6666

The Phi-based 9/11 - end of Maya calender scale:

4120 * 1.618 = 6666 * 1.618 = 10785

9/11 is the key event:

10785 days prior to September 11, 2001 gives March 2, 1972

March 2, 1972:

The Pioneer 10 spaceprobe is launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida with a mission to explore the outer planets.

next related date on scale:

June 13, 1983:

Pioneer 10 becomes the first manmade object to leave the solar system.

Is this all about leaving our solarsystem?Are we symbolically going to escape the influence of our Sun or something like that.

As a ´coincidence´ , Voyager 1 just recently entered the solar system´s final frontier. It is entering a vast, turbulent expanse where the Sun´s influence ends and the solar wind crashes into the thin gas between stars."

American missiles have hit the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, signalling the start of the US-led campaign to topple Saddam Hussein. President George Bush delivered a live television address shortly after the bombings began, vowing to "disarm Iraq and to free its people".

The attack was ordered two hours after a final 48-hour deadline expired for Saddam Hussein to leave Iraq."

the only problem i have with this is that July 12, 2002, we had "accidently" bombed in baghdad and killed 12 children at a school....so march 20, 2003 was not really the "beginning" or "start" of the campaign...really.

a historical related event regarding the Dow Jones:

1972 - The Dow Jones Industrial Average closes above 1,000 (1,003.16) for the first time.

Goro in his latest update:

"It was exactly 6 months ago that the Sun crossed the Galactic Meridian, which it is about to do again on June 8, and gave us the Damageplan ´ritual´ which in many ways prefigured the fall of the religious ´Sun king´ Pope John Paul II. (Damageplan had evolved from a band called Pantera - a Hebrew form of an ancient Egyptian royal epithet ´Pa-ntr-ra´, or ´the god Ra´, Ra being a prominent Sun-god.)

In this context it becomes very fitting that Michael Jackson´s ´Judgment´ is now underway - the closing arguments in his child-molestation trial having concluded last Friday... June 3. It´s now up to the jury to decide MJ´s fate, and while I personally don´t think evidence against him is compelling (not that I followed the trial closely), his ´fall´ would be a form of a ´Sun king´ falling. MJ is of course the ´King of Pop´ and his album ´Invincible´ evokes Sol Invictus (´Invincible Sun´), a religious title used during the Roman Empire. (This connection was made on this site as early as November 2003.) And... we´ll see how ´invincible´ he really is, almost certainly during the current window. Innocent or guilty, this is his ´Judgment Day´, and in a way this trial has already shown the world how far he has already fallen.

Oh, and MJ is of course a brother of Janet Jackson, a central figure in last year´s ´omen ritual´ at the Super Bowl halftime show that in effect, prefiguring Madrid ´311´ and Venus Transit, kick-started the Super Torch Ritual. She was symbolically made a ´Black Madonna´, or Mary Magdalene, basically the same character now represented by Danica, which also made her the Egyptian goddess ´Isis´. Isis´ brother (and husband) was Osiris, whose death and rebirth has been a theme considered interlocking with the Sun/Babylon king motif in the STR. And being Janet´s brother, Michael Jackson would quite naturally become Osiris and a Sun-king."

and

"Other than that, I saw that June 3 was a bad economic news day as the May job growth was revealed to be the slowest in two years. My recent interpretation has been that symbolic ´clues´ are now hinting at the danger of an impending economic collapse "

That´s because people don´t understandthat time only appears to be unilinear.It´s just an illusion.People don´t understand hyperdimensionalcause and effect too good.I don´t blame them.It´s very hard and not always intuitive.Anyway, the upshot is there is no God.Or at least no need for one.

An Iraqi court chosen to try toppled dictator Saddam Hussein has rejected government statements that the deposed dictator will face justice within two months, saying there was no fixed timetable.

"There is no precise schedule for holding the trial, in accordance with the independence of the Iraqi Special Tribunal," the court said in a statement Monday.

"Any trial date depends on the judges who will consider indictments against the accused after completing their investigations," it added in reference to the trials of Saddam and 11 other former leaders currently in US detention.

On Sunday, government spokesman Leith Kubba said Saddam would be indicted on just 12 charges of crimes against humanity out of a potential 500, and would go on trial within two months.

Saddam, who was toppled in April 2003 and arrested the following December, is accused of committing a series of crimes against humanity during more than two decades in power.

Meanwhile, the US military said it had smashed two bunker networks in Iraq that served as insurgent lairs, while 15 Iraqis were killed in an unyielding spate of attacks centered in the north.

US forces destroyed a former Republican Guard bunker system in the Yusifiyah area southwest of Baghdad on Thursday following a tip-off by local residents and surveillance of the site, a military statement said.

It added that the bunker, hidden amid a former military-industrial complex, had been used by insurgents to store munitions.

"Coalition forces engaged the complex with five high-precision smart-bombs," the statement said.

On Sunday, US troops blew up another bunker system built in an abandoned rock quarry near the former rebel bastion of Fallujah, west of Baghdad, which had been found four days earlier.

Twelve weapons caches were also found within eight kilometers (five miles) of the network.

The entire complex was 170 meters (yards) wide and 275 meters long, bigger than four football pitches, and fresh food inside indicated that insurgents had been there recently.

Fully furnished living spaces were found, along with a kitchen, showers and an air conditioner, sophisticated combat gear such as night-vision goggles and a large stash of weapons and ammunition.

But as US and Iraqi forces pressed on Monday with Operation Lightning to rout insurgents from Baghdad and surrounding areas, rebels struck again against their favored targets.

At least 15 Iraqis and one US soldier have been killed in attacks since late Sunday.

Two Romanian soldiers were wounded in Baghdad in an attack on a vehicle taking diplomatic mail from the Romanian embassy to the airport, the Romanian government announced.

In the worst attack, five civilians, including two children, died late Sunday in a mortar attack west of Mosul in northern Iraq, the US military said.

Two Iraqi soldiers were also killed in an attack on their checkpoint near Samarra, north of Baghdad, police said.

The US soldier died Sunday after a patrol was struck by a roadside bomb near the northern oil city of Kirkuk, the US military said. The death brought the number of US service personnel killed in Iraq to 1,670, according to an AFP tally based on Pentagon figures.

The Iraqi government said its forces had rounded up 89 suspects in raids in and around Baghdad since late Sunday as part of Operation Lightning.

A US military statement described three detainees captured by Iraqi troops as "high-value targets."

More than 1,300 people have been detained since the operation was launched in late May, one of the bloodiest months since the US-led invasion of March 2003.

Almost 700 Iraqis were killed last month in a frenzy of attacks throughout the country.

Officials blame the relentless insurgency on Saddam loyalists and foreign extremists bent on waging jihad, or holy war, against foreign troops and those deemed to be collaborating with them.

Iraq offered a reward of 50,000 dollars for information leading to the arrest of Abu Abdullah al-Shafi, the alleged ringleader of Ansar al-Sunna, a group tied to Al-Qaeda´s terror network.

On the political front, a leading Shiite party in the governing coalition rejected longstanding demands by Kurdish partners for control of the northern oil city of Kirkuk."

Kennedy

Report: Papers Show Kennedy Sought Diplomatic Settlement in VietnamA U.S. newspaper says there is new evidence that former President John F. Kennedy sought a diplomatic solution to the conflict in Vietnam.

The Boston Globe says newly uncovered documents show that Mr. Kennedy planned to reach out to North Vietnam in 1962 through his ambassador to India, John Kenneth Galbraith.

The Globe quotes a memo from Mr. Kennedy´s secretary of state, Averell Harriman, saying the United States would withdraw its military personnel from South Vietnam if North Vietnam stopped its guerrilla activity.

The paper says the Kennedy administration never followed through with the plan. Later, Mr. Galbraith had a discussion about a possible cease-fire in Vietnam with the foreign minister of Poland, then a close Soviet ally. This attempt also did not succeed.

Historians have long debated President Kennedy´s intentions toward Vietnam. The number of U.S. troops there escalated soon after Mr. Kennedy´s assassination in November, 1963, eventually topping half-a-million. [link to quickstart.clari.net]

I wanted to put Vietnam Veterans on the triggerlist for today but I decided not to do so. I don´t want to make the list too long.

but the Vietnam triggers are on the triggers for today

Todays news June 7, 2005:

• Veterans Deal with Post Traumatic Stress Spring is filled with significant dates for America´s military veterans. April 29 and 30 marked the 30th anniversary of the withdrawal of troops from Vietnamâ€¦ May 12 was the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europeâ€¦ Memorial Day acknowledged all those service men and women who´ve given their lives in the service of their countryâ€¦ and June 6 was the 61st anniversary of D-Day, the pivotal invasion of Normandy.

At least 33 Iraqis have been killed across the country in the bloodiest day since the month of May, during which almost 700 Iraqis lost their lives.

Fourteen Iraqis died, half of them soldiers, in early morning car bomb attacks around the northern town of Hawijah on Tuesday in the latest major attack on Iraq´s security forces.

The explosions occurred as officials hailed gains from Operation Lightning, a more than two-week-old sweep of the capital, but warned against complacency, saying the insurgency´s demise would be a "slow death".

Three suicide bombers struck almost simultaneously, targeting army checkpoints on the northern, western and eastern entrances of the restive Sunni Arab town, 210 kilometres (130 miles) from Baghdad, police said.

The casualty toll from the attacks was 14 killed and 20 wounded said Dr Jasim Hamad, director of Hawijah´s general hospital. Among the dead were seven soldiers, three children and a woman.

US forces sealed off what quickly became a virtual ghost town with Apache attack helicopters circling overhead, an AFP correspondent reported.

Nine people were killed in the northern city of Mosul, including four peshmerga militiamen reportedly shot dead by police after they were mistaken for insurgents and three students killed when unknown gunmen burst into their apartment.

One policeman died in a drive-by shooting in the city´s industrial district and another in a mortar attack on his station in Tun Kubri, to the south.

North of Baghdad, four Iraqi soldiers were killed in an ambush and roadside bombing, while two bullet-riddled bodies were found on the banks of a nearby river.

Near the former rebel stronghold of Fallujah, west of Baghdad, three civilians died and 13 were wounded in a mortar attack on a military base.

Inside the capital, an employee of the foreign ministry was killed in a drive-by shooting and a policeman was shot dead in the southern Aamel neighborhood.

The body of a policeman bearing gunshot wounds was also discovered near the infamous Abu Ghraib prison west of Baghdad.

The toll surpassed one of 32 killed over a 24-hour period last Thursday and Friday.

A car bombing in Baghdad early Tuesday wounded another 28 people, shattering the relative calm of recent days there as Iraqi forces backed by US troops pressed on with Operation Lightning.

Government spokesman Leith Kubba said the operation, now expanded south of the capital to the so-called triangle of death, had netted 887 detainees since May 22, revised from an earlier figure of more than 1,200.

"Fighting these criminal networks ... and eradicating them will not happen with a knockout blow, but rather it will be a slow death and it will happen with continuous efforts to isolate them." Kubba said.

Meanwhile, militants released video footage of a Turkish businessman and two companions they claimed to be holding, along with a threat to kill them within four days unless Ankara halted cooperation with the US military and companies in Iraq.

A short videotape aired by Dubai television showed a man identified as Ali Abdullah seated on the ground, flanked by two gunmen in front of a banner bearing the name Ali bin Abi Taleb Brigades.

Amid heightened tensions between the Shiite majority and the ousted Sunni Arab elite meanwhile, the Iraqi Islamic Party said a Sunni cleric had been lured from his home in the mainly Shiite southern city of Basra, tortured and executed.

"The body of Salem Abdel Karim al-Kardissi was found under a bridge" northwest of Basra after men wearing police uniforms took him from his home on Sunday, said Alaa al-Sabah, an official with the country´s main Sunni party.

Police in Basra, where a Shiite cleric was killed in a drive-by shooting last Thursday, said they no information on the affair.

Meanwhile, Salvadoran President Antonio Saca said he would decide in August if El Salvador would send a fifth contingent of troops to participate in the US-led coalition in Iraq.
